I am the best candidate for this position because I bring a combination of technical expertise and leadership experience. Professionally, I have built a career in finance and accounting. I have a strong understanding of budgeting and analyzing financial information. I also currently serve our community as a volunteer firefighter on the SBFD and am a truck captain and Treasurer of our Relief Association. These roles have reinforced the importance of teamwork, leadership, fiscal responsibility, budgeting, and accountability. Beyond my professional and volunteer experience, I am a husband, father, homeowner, and longtime resident who is invested in the future of St. Boni. I care deeply about our community and am proud to call St. Boni home.
(1) Fiscal Responsibility – I will ensure taxpayer dollars are spent wisely by maintaining strong oversight, controlling cost, and planning for long-term needs. (2) Infrastructure and Public Services – I will demand accountability for all public works projects and ensure projects are properly planned before taxpayer dollars are spent. (3) Protect our community – I will stand up for the interests of our residents and ensure larger neighboring communities do not overshadow our city's priorities.
I will ensure city decisions, finances, and priorities are clearly communicated to residents and that resident voices are heard. If elected, my term will be a partnership with our residents and I will be their voice. I will support accountability through a balanced budget and adhering to it. Ethical conduct starts with leading by example, following all laws and policies, avoiding conflicts of interest, and encouraging a culture of honesty, trust, respect, and service to the community.
I will engage with residents through regular community meetings, email, monthly newsletters, and social media. I will listen to all input. I will not pretend to have all of the answers. I will listen and make decisions that are in the best interests of all St. Boni residents.
A strong partnership with our neighboring communities is essential as we currently contract our police. I want to be sure this partnership is solid especially during contract negotiations. As a volunteer firefighter, I understand the importance of well-trained, properly equipped public safety personnel. My focus will be on maintaining safe neighborhoods, supporting first responders and ensuring all residents feel heard, respected and protected.

The League of Women Voters of Minnesota and North Dakota crafted the questions sent to the candidates in the Spring of 2024. They reached out to candidates based on contact information in their public candidate filings. Candidates with email addresses were invited and reminded with emails. Candidates with only mailing addresses were sent a letter. Candidates with phone numbers received a phone call as well.

Candidate responses are published as they responded and have not been edited, except when responses were longer than the given character limit. In those cases, the responses are truncated.
